　　Even though it was only October，my students were already whispering about Christmas plans．With each passing day everyone became more 　　1　　 waiting for the final school bell．Upon its 　　2　　 everyone would run for their coats and go home，everyone except David．

　　David was a small boy in ragged clothes．I had often 　　3　　 what kind of home life David had，and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 　　4　　 for the cold winter months without a coat，boots，or gloves．But something made David 　　5　　．I can still remember he was always 　　6　　 a smile and willing to help．He always 　　7　　 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor．We never talked much．He 　　8　　 just simply smile and ask what else he could do，then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 　　9　　 home．

　　Weeks passed and the 　　10　　 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 　　11　　 before the holiday break．I smiled in 　　12　　 as the last of them hurried out of the door．Turning around I saw David 　　13　　 standing by my desk．

　　“I have something for you，”he said and 　　14　　 from behind his back a small box．　　15　　 it to me，he said anxiously，“Open it．” I took the box from him，thanked him and slowly unwrapped it．I lifted the lid and to my 　　16　　 I saw nothing．I looked at David's smiling face and back into the box and said，“The box is nice，David，but it's 　　17　　．”

　　“Oh，no．It isn't．” said David．” It's full of love．My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn't see or touch unless you know it's there．”

　　Tears filled my eyes 　　18　　 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 　　19　　 to．After that Christmas，David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 　　20　　 the little empty box set on my desk．．
